The Romans conquered the Greeks, then they stole a lot of things from them- everything from architecture to myths (they changed the names, but it's basically the same). Saying "borrow" doesn't make sense because they neither gave it back or had any intention of doing so.
We also took a lot of our architecture from them, for example, pillars are originally Greek, and they're very common in American buildings.
